Abortion Ghouls Clinton, Sanders Bailed Out

The Daily Wire
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-Loonbaggia) completely embarrassed themselves on Sunday over the issue of abortion. Confronted for the first time in their adult lives by questions about the morality of their abortion perspectives, they froze like deer in the headlights. Chuck Todd from NBC asked Clinton, “When or if does an unborn child have constitutional rights?” Clinton answered, “The unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights.”
Well, that’s damned clear. The baby is an unborn human being; it doesn’t have rights because Hillary believes certain human beings do not deserve rights. This is the same perspective as that of slaveholders in the antebellum south: if the black person is on my plantation, he’s property. If you believe borders mark personhood – personal borders or state borders – you’re a monster.
But this is the Democratic Party official position. Unborn children have no rights. If you want to kill them, grab a scalpel, sister. No wonder Cecile Richards calls Hillary the "pinnacle of everything we've fought for."
And Sanders agrees. Asked the same question, Sanders said, “All I know is that I will fight as strong as I can to defend a woman’s right to choose. I believe that it is an outrage that Republicans who tell us how much they hate the government now want to tell every American – every American woman what she can and cannot do with her body. And I do agree with the Secretary. I don’t believe there’s any constitutional protection for the unborn.”
This, again, is evil. No restrictions on abortion means plunge a scissors into the base of the skull of a 9-month-old baby in the womb, and suck its brains into a sink before chopping it up for extraction.
Normally, all of this would be problematic for Democrats.
Thankfully for Democrats, they have Donald Trump.
Trump supposedly became pro-life just when he began considering whether to run for president of the United States. Until that time, he believed in partial birth abortion. He still backs Planned Parenthood. In the last four days, he’s held the following positions:
Wednesday: Women should be punished for abortion.
Wednesday: “[T]he issue is unclear…[it should be] left to the states.”
Thursday: “The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb. My position has not changed – like Ronald Reagan, I am pro-life with exceptions.”
Friday: “I think it would’ve been better if it were up to the states. But right now, the laws are set….At this moment, the laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way.”
Friday: “Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear it must stay that way now – until he is President. Then he will change the law through his judicial appointments and allow the states to protect the unborn. There is nothing new or different here.”
Saturday: “What I said was so good, it was so perfect, and then they look, they say, ‘Oh, maybe he should’ve added a word.’”
Sunday: Yeah, I won’t answer whether I’ve paid for an abortion or two.
The pro-abortion position is morally reprehensible. But it cannot be fought by a man with more positions than the Kama Sutra. Trump’s moral incoherence disgraces the pro-life movement – and in the process, undercuts everything conservatives believe. He is the reverse King Midas of conservatism: every conservative position he supposedly holds, he turns to horse manure.
